Seeing “dog riding”
in your dream

If a person sees a sheep mounting him and riding on him it means some powerful and strong man will subjugate him, rendering him powerless.

A dog in a dream also represents a street boy, a beggar or an obsequious, lowly and a despicable person who maintains affection toward his master and jealously guards him, his children and property. A dog in a dream also means greed, love for the worldly pleasures, committing a dogfight to win them and failing to have any reserve or savings. In a dream, all types of dogs also represent people. A hunting dog in a dream represents honor and profits. A shepherd's dog represents a good neighbor who cares more about his neighbors than about his own household. Adopting a dog as a pet in a dream means wavering, or paying financial damages, or it could mean unemployment. Taking a dog for a companion on a journey in a dream means disappearing. A dog in a dream also means disbelief, ingratitude or losing hope, belying, fear, imprisonment, or becoming a fugitive. Seeing a dog in a city in a dream also means renewal of one's business contract.

Seeing oneself circumambulating Allah's house while riding on a mare in a dream means that one will commit the abominable sin of adultery with a member of his own family or with a consanguineous blood relative with whom it is not permissible to have sexual relationship. (Also see Kabah; Rituals of the pilgrimage; Sai)

• Seeing a saddled but unknown stallion or mare in one’s house: A woman will enter the house for sex, marriage, or a simple courtesy call. The same situation involving an unsaddled horse would mean that a man would enter that house for marital purposes and the like.
Draft horses or packhorses symbolize man’s perseverance and struggle. They are midway between a mare and a donkey. They represent a low-class wife and a slave or servant. On the other hand, they also refer to energy, luck earned through tears and sweat, and prosperity.

• Seeing one’s draft horse rolling in the dust: Efforts will be stepped up, and wealth will increase.

• A yellow packhorse: Sorrow.

• If someone used to riding mares rides a draft horse, his prestige will fall, his power will wane, and he might abandon his wife to go with a slave girl or a nanny.

• Conversely, if a person used to riding donkeys rides a draft horse, people will talk highly of him and praise him and his income will
increase. His sexual standard might also be promoted by going to bed with a free woman, rather than a slave.

• The higher and the stronger the pack horse, the greater and more solid the religious faith.

All kinds of dogs refer to wicked persons.

• Taking a dog: Will befriend a servant and love him very much.


• Taking or befriending a dog: Deviation, work stoppage, and the squandering of money.

• Being bitten or scratched by one’s dog:  (1) Will encounter disaster sustain harm, and face hardships caused by a friend or a servant. 
(2) Will be harmed by one’s enemy as much as there was pain.  (3) The dreamer might fall ill.

• A dog tearing one’s clothes: A silly individual is backbiting you. If no barking was heard, it means that an enemy has silently laid a trap.

• A female dog  (or bitch):  (1) A proliferative woman keen on preserving her husband; 
(2) A mean woman of low origin whose folks are troublemakers.

• A puppy is a beloved son. If he is white, it means the boy is a genuine worshiper. If black, he will prevail over his folk. In other interpretations: A puppy is the waif of a profligate or the product of adultery that the dreamer will find and raise.

The foal, or colt, and the filly  (the female) refer to the son and daughter or simply a boy and a girl, slave or not. Dreaming of riding on a colt without saddle or reins means one will sodomize a boy underage or a delinquent one or will experience fear and worries. The same applies to the filly.

• A ladder placed on the ground: Sickness.

• A standing ladder: Good health.

• Going downstairs:  (1) If the dreamer is on a journey, he will return.

A man said to Shaikh Ahmad Al-Faroni: "I saw Prince so-and-so riding on a high horse in a stately form and people honoring him." The Sheikh replied: "If your dream is true, he will soon be appointed at a high-ranking position." Shortly after that, the prince was appointed to the pilgrims' administration.

The rhinoceros is a great king whom nobody likes to meet.

• Finding a sow in one’s bed: Will make love to an atheist.

• A swine drinking from the same gold chalice as the dreamer: A transvestite is hiding among the dreamer’s women.

A car in a dream also signifies dignity, honor, advancement and attainment. If one sees himself holding to a car or running after it in a dream, it means that he will lobby someone in authority and profit from him as much as his nearness to such a car. If one sees himself riding on a cargo vehicle in a dream, it means suffering from distress and sorrow. (Also see Carrier; Racing)

• Cranes flying in a country’s skies: A harbinger of extremely cold weather and unbearable storms during the year.

(2) Will earn a reward.

• Riding on a crane: Will become poor.

It is not desirable for a patient to see himself stained with blood or riding on a camel, a donkey, a pig, or a cow. A good dream would have him look fat, tall, and large, or see cattle and cows from afar, wash with water, drink clear and pure water, wear a wreath, or climb on a fruitful tree or to the top of a mountain.
The dreamer seeing anything reduced or deteriorated in him means that he is going astray on the religious plane.

If one sees himself riding over a bear in a dream, should he qualify, it means that he will manage a loathsome business. Otherwise, it means that he will be struck with fear and distress, then he will escape from his trials. A bear in a dream also means travels, returning from a journey or he could represent a prostitute. If one has access to such a woman, he must beware not to commit adultery.

In a dream, a rhinoceros represents a great king or a powerful ruler. If one sees himself milking a rhinoceros in a dream, it denotes money one may earn from such a great person. Riding a rhinoceros in a dream means rising above such a ruler, or it could mean betraying him.

The bear symbolizes a powerful man, full of fortitude and wicked in his intentions, treacherous, and an evil-monger. It also alludes to an enemy, a foolish thief, an effeminate person, or one who robs pilgrims and attacks caravans. According to the legend, the bear used to be a woman and was metamorphosed. Dreaming of riding on a bear means one: 
(1) Will obtain a high position.  (2) Will experience fear, but be safe.

• Buying a ram: Will be needed by an honest man to be saved from disease or destruction.

• Becoming a ram: Will enjoy fame and fortune in the shadow of a rich and influential but honest man or will serve a king.

• Fighting a ram: Will be at loggerheads with a giant of a man. Whoever wins the combat will triumph in reality, because the two are of different kinds.49

• Riding a ram or eating cooked ram meat: Fertility and abundance. In dreams, fat meat is a better symbol than lean.

• Eating raw ram meat: Absence.

• Riding on a planet: Benefits, welfare, power, influence, and leadership.

(Arc) In a dream, a coffin means a great wealth. If one sees himself hiding inside a coffin in a dream, it means fearing one's enemy and that one is incapable of facing him, though this element in a dream also could mean salvation or escape from dangers that will follow. If one sees himself riding on top of a coffin in a dream, it means that either his name is mentioned in a will, or that he will face a dispute regarding an inheritance that will turn to his advantage.

• Owning or riding a she-camel:  (1) If a bachelor, will get married. 
(2) If planning to travel, the journey will take place.  (3) Will own some land or a house, et cetera.

• A she-camel giving milk in a mosque or an agricultural field: A fertile year to come. If people are scared or besieged, or if there is some intrigue or heresy in the air, all those things would disappear, as the she-camel milk represents normalcy in adoring God and observing the Tradition of the Holy Prophet.

• Touching a baby camel: Sorrow and worries.
